Here is a soon to be historical photo of the first participants in the "A Label for Artists" redesign breakfast meeting. Of course we spent more time redesigning breakfast than the Label due to the fact that the pitcher of coffee was art. Or was it?

well, for starters, what is art?
(didn't we discuss this a week ago?)
Let's flip your question around:
What is NOT art?
I like that question better.
Art is perception, state of mind perhaps. Therefore, `everything` is, and isn`t art. :) That`s my story and I`m sticking to it!
what is not art, eh?
hmmmm...
i like blue's point-- if you call it art, it is. maybe. so if you don't, then it's not?
i just don't know.
what is NOT art? i just read a great quote by picasso... something about someone who works with their hands is a labourer. someone who works w/ their hands and their head is a craftsman. someone who works with their hands, their head, and their heart is an artist.
but that still doesn't say what art is not. i'm gonna have to say everything's art if you want it to be. i'm always suspicious of those distinctions b/t art and not-art, esp since for so long it was the way white males dismissed every art form other than their own.
Art is NOT a nuclear war head,
it's not a sea bird in an oil slick,
or a historical building razed for surface parking.
Art is not the smell of Burger King drifting down the back lane,
or an autobin over-stuffed with the refuse of poverty,
it's not a rusted out '85 Monza spewing noxious fumes,
or the hanging of a Chinese petty drug trafficer to mark International Drug Awareness week.
Strangly though, when you make poetry of these dastardly things it starts to approach art.
hm. good one.
hm. good one.
Did you get that "Trucker Cap Style" from Korea? It is super duper cool.
yep. it arrived in a box of smoky tiger art from korea, was misplaced for many months, and then resurfaced recently in a pile of foam chips.
